How do you run a Park Slope bar called Beer Table, without beer? You don’t. Instead, you start going a little nuts waiting for the State Liquor Authority to approve your application. “For almost six months, the owners of Beer Table, on Seventh Avenue near 14th Street, have been trapped in liquor license limbo. The local community board endorsed the bar’s application for a liquor license in July, but the application is still awaiting final approval by the State Liquor Authority. Out of desperation, Mr. Philips has considered opening the bar to serve snacks and nonalcoholic drinks. But he can’t bring himself to compromise his original vision.” They may be able to open next Saturday.–NYT
